We love finding college women who are as pumped about women's empowerment as we are to come along as our seasonal interns! This summer has lived up to the excitement in every way. Haley and Kara are college students in SC & NC, working with Meredith and Amy on all things Gala, Limited Release, product development, and a few other goodies. They have been a HUGE asset to our organization, and we've also enjoyed showing them the ropes at our nonprofit. While we gain, we also want our interns to gain valuable life and career experience that will get them one step closer to that dream job. We're excited to introduce y'all to Haley and Kara - enjoy getting to know them!

Definitely would have to be breakfast: French toast, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and LOTS OF COFFEE.

I love the Francis Shopper Tote!!

Being tan and getting to go on fun trips with my friends. I especially love going to the beach!

I am a superhero fanatic. My favorite movies are the Iron Man movies, but Spiderman is my favorite superhero. And my guilty pleasure Netflix Show is Arrow, which also happens to be based off a comic.

If I had to describe myself as an animal, I would be a cat, because they are sassy, but loving and loyal.
